* Students entering the School of Materials Engineering should have completed the sequence of CHM 11500 and 11600 or the sequence of CHM 12300 and 12400 (or CHM 13600).

† Eighteen credit hours of general education electives are chosen in accordance with the general education requirements of the College of Engineering.

‡ Eighteen credit hours of technical electives must be selected from lists of courses approved by the faculty of the School of Materials Engineering. At least 12 of the 18 hours are to be selected from an approved list of materials courses. Up to 6 hours can be chosen from a separate list of courses, which includes other support areas.

Notes:

Of the courses used to satisfy the minimum graduation requirements, the pass/not-pass option may be applied only to the nine credits of unspecified general education electives.

PHYS 25200 is a one-credit-hour lab course. It may be replaced by another one-credit-hour stand-alone science lab course, such as CHM 25700L (which complements CHM 25700, a required course for MSE) or CHM 26300. Another possibility is to take PHYS 27200 (Electric and Magnetic Interactions), a four-credit-hour course which wil count for PHYS 24100 (three-credit-hour) and PHYS 25200 (one-credit-hour).

The preferred math sequence includes MA 26500 and MA 26600. Under certain circumstances MA 26200 (Linear Algebra and Differential Equations) and either MA 30300 (Differential Equations and Partial Differential Equations for Engineering and the Sciences) or MA 35100 (Elementary Linear Algebra) may be approved to replace MA 26500 and MA 26600.
